Market narrative

South Dakota's charter aviation industry serves the state's agricultural sector, tourism destinations like Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills, and regional business centers. Rapid City Regional Airport (RAP) and Sioux Falls Regional Airport (FSD) serve as primary hubs, while operators throughout the state support diverse rural and tourism operations.

The Black Hills region and Mount Rushmore generate significant tourism charter traffic, particularly during summer months when visitors come from across the nation. Rapid City serves as a hub for western South Dakota operations, including ranching and mining activities. Sioux Falls supports the state's agricultural processing industry and regional business charter demand. The state's vast rural areas require operators capable of serving remote airstrips and providing essential transportation services to isolated communities.
